Date: 2005-09-04 12:49 pm (UTC)I'm an RPI alumnus (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute). They're also taking students from the area around RPI who were going to ANY Gulf Coast university, tuition-free (they'll have to handle room & board themselves, but the idea is they'd live at home and commute). Just an FYI. I posted the letter from RPI in my LJ.
Thanks for doing this.

Date: 2005-09-04 01:27 pm (UTC)Since you used to be from RPI... do you happen to know Andy Cole? I met him years ago at an IV chapter camp, and then we overlapped a year when we were both interning at IV. Since I moved to NYC I've seen him a few times when he would visit the City.
If you know who I'm talking about, then what a small world it is!

Date: 2005-09-04 11:22 pm (UTC)Missouri residents who were enrolled at a college or university that has been closed due to the hurricane and who choose to enroll at Missouri State will have their basic (per credit hour) fees waived for the semester.
Out-of-state students who were enrolled at a college or university that has been closed due to the hurricane and who choose to enroll at Missouri State will be assessed the basic fee but will have their out-of-state fees waived for the semester.
Students would be responsible for student services fees and other incidental costs. Students who choose to live on campus will be given a prorated cost for housing.
